Overwatch Match Highlights 6 - Snipers Are Delicious

Also, duels with a Widow on Nepal and a Hanzo on Numbani. The Nepal widow was actually super scary. She always knew I was comin' for her, and would always have a shot lined up on me even when I was flanking 50 yards out and 90 degrees from the last place she saw me. Spooky!

The Numbani Hanzo I feel a bit bad about. After the first teamfight (in which his team got wrecked hard, I picked his Genji and softened him up before the melee kill that begins the Numbani sequence), most of his team started leaving the game and getting swapped in with replacements.

The only constant on his team (aside from him) was a pacifist Orisa. She would drop her shield down and use Halt on us, but would NEVER shoot, and just waved hi as you killed her. (So, obviously, I waved hi back as I reloaded, while killing her.)

On the fourth time, she finally fought back and tried to get me, but it was too late.

On the fifth time, she switched to Roadhog and came straight for me - which you see in the Play of the Game. Poor Orisa.

CHANCE...

This is where I write about video games. Beyond the simple pleasure of it, I hope to use this place as a bit of a mental gym to re-develop my writing style - something I seem to have misplaced around the turn of the century.

It will also serve as a personal blog, but for the most part if you enjoy discussion of gaming news, independent reviews and pointless musings, you have come to precisely the right place.

It's my custom to do at least one post per day - but whether it ends up being ten posts of breaking news and a review, or one post complaining about how I have a tummy ache is not set in stone.
